This mode is relevant if it is not possible to see the video of the call. Unfortunately, voice transmission is still possible only in Chinese, but the manufacturer promises to connect all the major languages ​​of the world, including Russian.

Security mode. When this mode is activated, the device automatically starts video recording when it detects an object within a radius of three meters. Video streaming is possible both on the user’s smartphone and in the cloud storage (this option is used by default).
